I have no idea why anyone cares how it reflects on the team. It was marijuana. It was not domestic violence, rape, robbery, theft, murder....

Additionally, they are Former players. It probably did happen while they were on the team and there probably are plenty of players on the team now that would fail a drug test. This is true at most schools.

Marijuana is very common among college age kids, including athletes.

The guy made a mistake and his whole world was turned upside down. Give him a break.

He alone would not have changed LSU's season.

We have a much bigger problem than a few coaches. We only recruit a minimal number of above average offensive lineman. When you have to keep an extra tight end or a RB in to block, it simplifies the strategy of the defense and shows the talent you have up front.

By using extra blockers, it is easy for the defense to scheme to cover 3 WR's running routes (we are lacking in sure-handed WR's) and allows you to put 9 in the box.

I know it is obvious, but this is why the running game that we have grown accustom to did not show up against Auburn and Florida. It is only going to get tougher.

We are in for a long season until the coaching staff decides to open it up. Sure there will be sacks, but Mettenberger is going to have to take some hits and learn to adapt. The kid looks like a scared teenager out there and sulks like JJ did when things aren't going his way. Grow a pair and get the ball out of your hands or take the sack. Opening it up and not keeping extra guys to block is the only way to get the running game going again.

The offensive coaching has got to stop being so predictable (i.e. Miles). Besides his gutsy plays in the past, the guy has been predictable (no matter who the OC is) and the players can't execute his plays when the defense knows what is coming. He wins games, but besides last year and '07, we win close games every time because we have a good defense. Heck, if we weren't scared to run something out of the ordinary once in a while, our offense would be awesome and we would be people by more than 1-3 points.

Sorry for the ranting, but that is how Monday's are. If we can take care of South Carolina, we are back in it this season.
